All of those BA's and none have a logo? How rare are they?

Salvo,

That is indeed a rare SHBA and it looks like you haven't used it. :eek:
Man oh man would that help complete my meager SHBA collection. :foot:
I'm not sure total numbers of SHBA's with logo spine but I have only seen 2, no wait now make that 3.
Randucci, MORIMOTOM, and now Salvo.
Thanks for posting the pics.

This is my first (sorry for the bad picture will take better ones later).
Bought in Vegas in '93. What do you think?

I think I'd like one of those Busse Combat patches! :D

Nice blade, too. :thumbup:
 
Thanks Mulder! it is not perfect, but pretty close. I have used it on a few Mule deer, gut, skin and quarter, boy does it make the job easy.
I learned that Busse's had become collectables and it has been a safe queen since.

Thanks again for the compliment on the old BA, means alot from the man with the BA collection to die for.

Scott,

email sent and you should probably edit your post something like I did before Hammy gets here and you get an infraction.

This one was 1/2 of my first order to Busse Combat. That was in the days when "two weeks" was measured in months..... lots & lots of months. By the time I finally got those first two knives after many emails and tons & tons of unanswered voicemails left on the shop answering machine between ordering (+ paying for) and receiving the knives, I was ready to use them to personally skin Jerry alive... r-e-a-l slow. The frustration of all those months of waiting was killin' me. But once they arrived I forgot all about the agony of the wait. Some things don't change. ;) :D

My first, or one of my first three, anyway, was the SHBM in the lower right, circa 1999. The SHSH and SHBA I got at he same time are currently AWOL.

Here's a pic of my first Busse - SHBA A2 fatty with smooth fasteners.

Purchased it new in 1997 and have had it ever since. This is definitely the "to the grave" knife of my collection. I started trying to buy more Busses back then but didn't try hard enough...
 
Except for a couple of trades, I still have all my Busses, SwampRats and Scrapyards, including the BCS Black w/Black Mags FSH that got me hooked!

I really would like to sell some- just can't seem to figure out which ones I can bear to part with! I can tell you it won't be that FSH!
 
My first Busse. A BATAC that I just got a few weeks ago. Have not had much of a chance to put it to use so it is pretty much pristine. Hopeing to change that over the next couple of weeks.

Dan,

You better send that one to me for safe keeping. :D

Just kidding my friend.
That is a nice early SHBA and worthy addition to any collection.
